Frequently asked questions
What does ΔE mean?
It is the perceived difference between two colors. Below 2 most people cannot tell them apart; above 10 they look clearly different.
Why is my color not exactly a CSS name?
There are only 148 CSS names, so most colors fall between them. The list shows the nearest ones and how close they are.
Is it free?
Yes. Browser tools on PhotoTools are free, unlimited and work without an account.
